And now, the phenomenon of the 'Fujiwara Zone'... that's one way for them to explain how his supposedly underpowered car wins practically all the races lol

Even Ryosuke can't explain 'Fujiwara Zone'

and another 1 month wait

All i can think of the 'Fujiwara Zone' is akin to Gundam Pilot's special ability like NewType , Seed Mode etc.

lol Fujiwara Zone reminds me of Tezuka Zone from Prince of Tennis, i guess the real talent of Takumi is his mastery of braking, if you handle braking awesomely then you cannot slow down and have better control on driving

Looks like we'll get to see the FC in action again soon? If so I'd be so happy!

Wow, the pace has really picked up compared to the previous seasons, to the point it almost feels rushed.

And now all of a sudden there's a "Fujiwara Zone", an abstract concept that everyone aknowledge even though it was never mentioned before. This really is a sports anime ><

Don't get tricked by the tag, this is a shounen.

Wow, I assumed it had a shounen tag. You made me go back and look at the top and sure enough... it's "seinen". I think it can qualify as both though...

It took me awhile to recognize Kogashiwa, but the episode was mostly nice, no one said that it would be the "hardest" race yet or "impossible" or anything, though Kogashiwa's father was petty enough to call Bunta just to say that his son was going to lose to his. lol Iketani being obnoxious with his talk about women was, well, obnoxious, but that's it, "nice" to learn about the "Fujiwara's zone" I guess. It still hurts a bit to look at Ryousuke though.

So, Takumi is kinda going out with that new girl, that's nice. "Fujiwara zone," huh? Well, interesting phenomenon created by Takumi subconsciously. I guess Takumi is going to beat this guy again, a second time now.

According to Bunta , Takami didn't take his own car on the beach date cuz the A/C doesn't work as well . WTF ? How can his team spend so much time and $$ on it , but can't fix the aircon ? Even if the original compressor/evap was weak , they coulda swapped it for a better one . The engine sure ain't stock !
Me thinks he just wanted the new car to impress his honey .

The beach part was nice and it became such a hype episode towards the end. Looking forward to see Takumi at the peak of his Zone.



Having a conversation between Fujiwara and Ken is a like conversation between old Kizaru and Whitebeard.

Unfortunately Arimoto Kinryuu and Ishizuka, Unshou passed away a while ago.

No shot so this is where it started it got a bit inaccurate with the instant gap Takumi was gaining but it sure is damn amazing to see it

Mika on the other hand has making moves and been progressing through this idk if you call this relationship with Takumi im rooting for her but seems like Mogi got tossed to the side would like to see what happened to her not like anyone liked her anyway.
